Flock Talk with the Femme Flock – Details, episodes & analysis

This episode, NYC-based bassist, performer, and creative force Sarah Elaz joins us to talk about her journey from professional dance to the jam scene, picking up the bass during the pandemic, and building projects like Boojum, Bearly Dead, Bushwick’s Dead, and SEAP (Sarah Elaz’s Almost Phish).

We dig into creative identity, imposter syndrome, stage presence, and the art of “being cringe” online. Sarah shares how fashion fuels her performance, how TikTok became part of her expression, and what it’s like navigating the scene as a woman on stage.

She also opens up about her advocacy work and the women who’ve inspired her to show up fully, on stage and off.

A conversation about performance, projection, and permission: to be bold, to be weird, to be seen.

Trigger Warning: This episode includes discussion of sexual violence.

This episode on Flock Talk, we’re joined by Alexandra Jenna—creator of her namesake blog (originally Tour Wife, Tour Life) and one of the early voices documenting women’s experiences in the jam scene—for a conversation that spans love, music, and self-discovery.

Alexandra shares her origin story in the jam scene, what it was really like being married to someone in a touring band, and the lessons she learned navigating life on the road. We dive into the early days of influencer culture (before it had a name), her experience building a brand in a male-dominated scene, and how her passion for style and self-expression has shaped her path.

From memories of Goose’s early breakout moments to reflections on personal growth, safety, and finding joy in being a fan again, Alex opens up with honesty and humor about the many roles she’s played in the scene—and where she’s headed next.
